Service-Learning District-wide to Increase Students’ Academic Engagement

presented by

Michael VanKeulen
National Youth Leadership Council

• Increase student engagement for all students.

• Learn about a successful process for connecting service-learning to current school and district initiatives.

How can service-learning help make instruction more engaging and help increase the connection students feel to school? Join Michael VanKeulen, the National Youth Leadership Council’s Outreach Director, to discuss NYLC’s work with school district leaders and professional development models aimed at helping districts extend service-learning as a strategy connected to current district initiatives. This webcast will help educators better understand how service-learning applied in a more systemic nature can address a key factor in preventing student dropout, the degree of meaningful student engagement in their academic goals and overall school experience.
